Babysitters Beware: A New Kid's Toy Is Destroying Hair

Remember when stepping on a Lego with bare feet was the most painful experience you could suffer from a toy? Now a new kind of building toy is here that comes with its own set of challenges. Babysitters, beware: you do NOT want to get Bunchems in your hair.

Like Legos, Bunchems are a great way for kids to design whatever their heart desires. Instead of traditional building blocks, kids link the circular Bunchems together, which they can do due to the toy's "hook and eye" design. Unfortunately, it's also this design that is spelling trouble for lots of children. Apparently the Bunchems don't just link easily to one another - they are also very easy to tangle into ones hair. Check out this photos and cringe:

Okay, so maaaaaybe kids shouldn't be putting Bunchems in their hair in the first place (you just know that those Bunchems didn't "accidentally" get into their hair) but it's definitely a failing of the toy's design to have the Bunchems link so aggressively to hair. In response to these hair-disasters, Bunchems actually put out a video that gives a step-by-step guide to removing the toys from ones hair:So next time you're babysitting and the kids break out the Bunchems, maybe make sure that your hair is tucked safely away underneath a hat.

Gallery | What a Doll! Celebrities as Boy Toys and Barbies

Noel Cruz's biggest success story came when the artist painstakingly turned a basic Katniss Everdeen doll into one that full-on resembled the Oscar-winning actress who played her on the big screen. The odds were in his favor as the Barbie sold on eBay for an incredible $2,500!

Everybody was able to take home their favorite country couple in the fall of 2011. Their dolls' debut coincided with their 15th wedding anniversary. Could they get any cuter?! The duo was involved in the every step of the two-month design process - and it shows! We love the attention to detail, especially with Faith's beautiful smile.

The 1D heartthrob's action figure certainly has a cupcake quality about him! We bet his toddler twinsie would be thrilled to find this little guy in his toy chest. Our only complaint is that those jeans are way too baggy. Switch them out with your Barbie's skinnies and he'll be golden.

The "Flawless" singer is as pretty as a doll so it was only a matter of time before she became immortalized as one. Her Barbie made its debut in 2005, several years before her real-life mini-me, Blue Ivy, was born. From her radiant beauty to her glamorous sense of style, it's the perfect match. Not surprisingly, this little lady comes with a pretty hefty price tag. You can't get it for less than 100 bucks.

The Barbie modeled after Jennifer Lopez, who earned the nickname "La Guitarra" growing up for her guitar-shaped body, received heavy criticism when it was released in 2013 because it lacked her famous curves. However, the doll's big bun (singular!) and white-and-nude gown perfectly resembled her look at the Oscars the year prior.

Noel Cruz strikes again! The talented artist did one of most beautiful women in the world justice with this stunning creation. We hope the actress commissioned a few for her girls to play with. That would be a real treat!

Released in 2002, Shakira's Barbie was influenced by the Columbian babe's penchant for tight leather outfits. The folks at Mattel could've gone a little edgier with the "Hips Don't Lie" pop-rocker's makeup and hair though. Beauty-wise, the figurine looks like any other Barbie.

Artist Noel Cruz, known for turning uninspired celeb dolls into more realistic depictions, kicked a** when he took an Anne Hathaway figurine from nada to Prada. There's no difference between the miniature and the real thing!

The platinum blond singer, who famously enjoys playing dress-up in her music career, added toy designer to her resume with the release of a series of limited-edition dolls named after her debut album, Love. Angel. Music. Baby. In collaboration with Huckleberry Toys, she made sure her adorable miniatures reflected her vast array of eclectic onstage incarnations - from Hollaback to Harajuku Girl.

The gorgeous supermodel must've felt like Barbie throughout her career. Well, in 2009, it became official when Mattel fashioned a doll out of her likeness. Like Heidi, the figurine donned a dazzling minidress and showed off killer legs. All that's missing is a spray tan.

In 2014, Barbie introduced the girl power theme song "Anything Is Possible" by Fifth Harmony. Not only did the women get to sing the new anthem, they also got their very own dolls! Camila's captures her sweet style, but we can't say the same for her Cuban and Mexican features.

The self-proclaimed Barbie of rap was honored with a Barbie of her own in the winter of 2011. A one-of-kind doll was made in her image and auctioned off for charity. Her Barbz, the name she affectionally calls her fans, must've fought fiercely to get their hands on it. But we sure hope the "Anaconda" MC got to keep one for herself. Being immortalized as the icon is a huge deal!

In addition to Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry was also fittingly transformed into a Barbie in the name of charity. Our favorite California Gurl looked fantastically quirky in a cupcake dress and bright blug wig. Both limited-edition dolls were auctioned off at a starting bid of $1,000.

The twerk queen was twinning so hard with a giant Barbie when she appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live in 2013. The random lookalike was creepy, but we'd take this version over her pink-haired doppelgänger any day.
